  CO says 35% inactive

  by target in

  2. friends

  the co visiting a congregation in madison wisconsin told them that 35% are inactive.

  i wonder if this is the pattern with most other congregations.

  that was about what it was in the last congregation i was in.

  I wouldn't doubt it. My cong. was practiclly empty most the time.
  I would guess 50% inactice. They were still in debt the last time they went over the expenses and I was there to hear it. They owe Broklyn several Gs but I think part of that was for a little remodeling that was done. Paint, carpet, chairs. I imagin they are still in debt. I always thought that was kinda strange, borrowing money from them selves to pay back their debt to them selves. I wonder if there is any compound interest added on to that?

  Yep, when ever I manage to keep excersizing and
  working out I feel a thousand times better.
  I have panic attacks, not as much as I use to but
  when I do getting back out again and working out
  takes so long. It's kind of like standing at the
  edge of a pool. The water is freezing and U know
  it but you also know as soon as you just stop
  worrying about the water and jump in it will be
  worth it.
  The lady you spoke of who nursed her son until
  he died, People like her must have rewards for
  them weather it's living forever or going to
  heaven. How can they not.

  My mom lives accross the contry from me but
  continues to send me information on herbs and
  nutrition every thing and anything she comes
  accross for depression and anxiety. She has
  always been a firm believer in that and I know
  a lot of people who benefit from following a
  better diet and paying more close attention
  to what they eat. I've tried many times but
  always fall off the wagon. I have a record of
  eating healthy for a solid month. I'm not very
  good at it I wish I was.

  Ive heard that a lot but don't you have to have
  several tests done first and then Maybe a doctor
  will approve B12 shots?
  I would like to try that for sure.

  I am presently on Effexor

  This one seems to be getting mentioned a lot.
  I don't remember my doctor mentioning it is it new?
  I'm going to ask him about that one and the other
  one I haven't had yet,Welbutrin. I think thats
  the one my sister-in-law takes and for the first
  time in several years she hasn't had any bad side
  affects.

  Why don't more men talk about this stuff?
  I watch the "Suppranos" I know bad bad bad,
  I think that show the first two seasons focused
  on getting more men to feel ok about thlking
  about depression.

  One thing is certain, I'm really glad I posted
  this now, things don't seem quite as bleek anymore.
  this has been a big help I guess this is therapudic.

  Thanks all

  Oh Yah! I remember when the announcment was made at
  our KH about the sign of the beast being identified
  on the 4th of July stands. We had to stop buying
  fireworks. I was bummm'd. That was 196?.
  My dad refused to buy fireworks anymore so my mom
  would take us to where ever they were having a
  fireworks show. She said "Were not lite'n um and
  I can't see any reason why we can't wacht um"

  I thought this post was for people in there 40's and 50's
  But I remember having breaks between meetings, so some were still doing that in the 60's I remember the same people out in the parking lot during the break and all the kids would be running and playing, the teens would just be standing around trying to look cool, that is until someone they new drove by and then they would turn around fast or hide behind someone. he he he
  Seeing smokers outside was pretty common.

  Let's have a baby shower!!!

  by Julie in

  2. friends

  as most of you know one of our long time posters, "mommy"/wendy, is expecting a baby in the very near future.

  as some of you may not know (and i hope she doesn't plot my murder for discussing it) wendy is going through some real tough times.

  she could use a few things for the baby considering getting by with two other children is difficult enough!.

  Thanks everyone who replied. I wasn't sure that I would even put this post up, hesitated a lot but i'm glad I did now. I got a lot of useful advice and feel better already just getting it off my chest.
  Oh and to

  belbab
  about your son, I went through that with my son to. The info you posted in your reply is great info for anyone who has kids to be aware of. I wish I had all the info when he first started school.

  Hmmm

  "Also, how much does a good therapist cost these days?"

  I don't really know but most insurance, even crappy hmo which is what I have will pay for it.
  As for the JWS, It's not really their business. They can't have any say over that and when someone needs a doctor, they need a doctor.
  I hope things work out for you and your mom. I can understand the position your in.
